erring on the side of life is extreme..????? I agree with your analysis but not your conclusion.... I prefer that end of life be decided by family, and when the family can not agree the LOCAL courts hear the case, and if there is still no agreement, the State MUST err on the side of life... The State of Florida FAILED all of us in this case..... I don't think this position is at all "extreme"
The court settles disagreement with a DECISION. That doesn't mean everyone agrees, it means everyone has been heard and a judgment made. Of course there is a reasonable appeal process, but at some point it has to stop. One side wins, and one side loses. And under no circumstances should Congress subpoenae a vegetative woman to testify just to throw a big ole smoke bomb into the process.
